'You know that I wanted to document our journey, ${PLAYER}, writing down the experiences we have and the places we see, and that includes describing the people we meet! No account of my adventure to this point would be complete without a description of this curious Tom Bombadil fellow, that much is clear.

'But I have encountered an early problem in this attempt, for I simply do not know of any way to describe him in such a way that does the fellow justice! Can you speak to him and learn what you can of Tom, in order to educate me on the subject? What are his likes and dislikes, from where did he come, and what drives him from day to day?
